Lets have some fun. Tuesday is paczki day, what is your favorite flavor and will you indulge in consuming one? I'll start, I have 2 favorite flavors, cannoli filled and custard. Apple is a favorite too. Being polish I will admit I'll be eating one.

Cannoli flavor is a thing!? I've never had that but it sounds amazing!!! I am a donut lover at heart and I love a good custard paczki. I won't go out of my way on paczki day to get one. But if they are around because someone brought them in to work or something.....oh yeah, I'll eat one.
I once made paczki's myself and I recall the recipe called for 6 egg yolks for 9 paczki's! I worked throughout the night so they were ready the morning of Fat Tuesday and my family ate them still warm. They were one of the best things I've every eaten, even though I used canned Solo filling in apricot and raspberry.
I'll admit I'm a bit picky and will only eat the raspberry ones--my sweet, sweet boyfriend tried to bring some home the other day as a surprise for me and they were all custard filled 😅 So he's got a few "fat tuesdays" in his future...
Cream cheese filled for sure!
Definitely apple, but I dabble in raspberry and cream cheese as well!
Definitely has to be raspberry. But unless my husband brings me one home from his work, I will not be indulging this year.
I had my first chocolate one this morning and I have to say I liked it more than I thought! I am normally a custard filling person but the chocolate is a close second now! 😋
I ended up eating a cannoli filled 1 😋
In case you ever wondered what about $1000 in paczki looks like (about 40 dozen). I'm charge of Paczki Day at my office every year. These are from Paris Bakery in Livonia, via Produce Station on State Street. Apple, Blueberry, Custard, Lemon and Raspberry. I had one Blueberry - even though I wanted a second (lemon) one, I held out for a Hurricane at Bayou Grille instead.
Yes, lemon! That one is good too :)
